From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
A bit in pwol_mask is set in b44_magic_pattern by atomic set_bit.
But since pwol_mask is local and never exposed to concurrency, there is
no need to set bit in pwol_mask atomically.
set_bit sets the bit in a single unsigned long location. Because pwol_mask
may not be aligned to unsigned long, the location may cross two cache
lines and accessing the location degradates performance. On x86, accessing
two cache lines in locked instruction in set_bit is called split lock and
can cause overall performance degradation.
So we use non atomic __set_bit to set pwol_mask bits. __set_bit won't
hit split lock issue on x86.
